Tall Rustic Oak Bookcase 80cm Wide

Look, if you’re tired of bookcases that wobble the second you load them up with hardbacks, this 80cm rustic oak unit is the answer. It’s solid oak. Heavy.

Here’s the thing about “rustic” oak. It’s got character—knots, deep grain, and those little imperfections that make it look like it actually came from a tree. And because it’s solid wood, it handles twenty years of family life without flinching.

Scratches? They just blend into the grain. Dents? They add to the story. It’s basically kid-proof and life-proof.

Why this one?

Most “tall” bookcases are flimsy things delivered in a flat pack. Not this one. This arrives at your door as a single, sturdy unit.

But be warned: you’re going to need two people to move it. That’s the trade-off for furniture that doesn’t lean to the left after six months.

So, if you want something that your grandkids will probably be fighting over one day, this is it. It’s a “buy it once” kind of piece.

Solid Wood. Real Grain.

We use a natural oil finish to let the wood breathe. It keeps the oak looking warm and feeling like real timber, not plastic.

And those shelves? They won’t bow. You can stack them with heavy encyclopedias or your old vinyl collection. It won’t budge.

Common Questions

How do I look after the wood? Just a quick wipe with a damp cloth and maybe a bit of clear wax once a year. That’s it. It’s a low-maintenance relationship.

Is it safe for a house with toddlers? It’s heavy, so it’s stable. But because it’s tall, I always tell people to use a wall strap. Better safe than sorry when kids are around.

What if my floors aren’t level? Old houses have wonky floors. Since this is solid wood, you can use a small shim under one corner. It won’t twist the frame like cheaper materials would.

Does the colour fade in the sun? All wood changes a bit over time. It’ll mellow into a deeper, richer gold. Most people think it looks better after five years than it did on day one.

Is it actually oak? Yes. Every shelf, the sides, and the top. No shortcuts here.

“This thing is a beast. I was worried about the 80cm width being too narrow, but it holds way more than my old flat-pack unit ever did. Solid as a rock and smells like real wood.”
